Harnessing solar energy for electric power generation is one of the growing technologies which provide a sustainable solution to the severe environmental issues such as climate change, global warming, and pollution. This chapter deals with the solar thermal power generation based on the line and point focussing solar concentrators.
To compare the different solar thermal power generation systems, some key characteristics/parameters are important to analyze the performance of the power generation system. Some of those parameters are discussed as follows: Aperture is the plane of entrance for the solar radiation incident on the concentrator.
The solar thermal energy systems performance for industrial applications are analyzed in the earlier previous studies to identify suitable solar thermal technology for various industrial process heat applications and are briefed in Table 2.
Hence, the electricity generation by solar thermal technologies involves the collection and concentration of solar radiation in the form of heat and its conversion into electricity. The limitation of solar power generation technologies is the diurnal (day and night) and intermittent (hourly, daily, and seasonal) nature of solar radiation.
The integration of solar thermal energy systems with the industrial processes mainly depends on the local solar radiation, availability of land, conventional fuel prices, quality of steam required, and flexibility of system integration with the existing process.
Kalogirou (2003) analyzed the characteristics and economics of solar thermal energy systems such as flat plate, evacuated tubular, compound parabolic, and parabolic trough collectors for industrial applications such as paper, textile, chemical, food, and beverage industries (temperature range from 60 °C to 260 °C).
